Transforming Touches

PDF Version: Anderson_WEEKLY_160611

Touched does not mean transformed; sometimes it takes many touches to witness a transformation. We now have the privilege of seeing some transformations begin and some continue while yet others start as God continues working through Community Health Evangelism (CHE) to change this nation.

Saturday June 4 we met with the university's CHE leader and wife for the first time as a couple. Sunday we met the CHE trained seminary director then picked up an experienced French missionary couple that have lived the vision we've been given to start in Cote d'Ivoire, if not accomplish, since responding to the call in 1997. It's a delight to meet 'brothers born for adversity' who have also overcome to see God change nations. In their cases, Senegal and Madagascar. They, in turn, marvel with us about God's moving here.

While Martine's medical experience in Madagascar is important to their current service with Healthcare Christian Fellowship International (HCFI), it is also proving to be a concrete help to us in the second of four ministry directions we're shepherding: she provides witness for the training of public health professionals of a Francophone CHE program that has changed how a French established national health care system saves peoples' lives physically and spiritually.

This trip, however, the focus speaker is her husband. Leaders in the national HCFI chapter followed-up last month's CHE training with what it looks like to participate in a Disciple Making Movement (DMM). John formerly initiated and pastored the largest church in Senegal serving through Youth with a Mission (YWAM). He was then led of the Lord out of that established comfort zone of missionary service to see CHE begin changing a nation. He's developed DMM expertise in the process (check this link to understand better this Global CHE Network adopted approach to church planting; it may sprout the discipling ministry for which God has prepped you). After the HCFI training in Abidjan, regional church leaders were trained in Abengourou.

For the Free Will Baptists, and some other trained pastors particpating, this was another touch from CityTeam's ministry and us about DMM (YouTube) and Church Planting Movements (CPM). We pray our local churches here flame-to-fire the spark of understanding that pushed Benjamin Randall and Paul Palmer to start meetings which multiplied to win and disciple believers across states and even nations. 

Prayer and Praise:

• We give thanks and request for continued safe travel as our vehicle has logged more than 3,500 miles of travel between visiting ministry sites and setting up our new home base in 7 weeks.
